40 Book Challenge

The 40 book challenge is based on Donalyn's core beliefs about reading:

Everybody reads here. Let's get started

Be a good all-around reader

There's the right book for you out there somewhere

What you read is YOUR choice

Your reading life matters.

"If your school wants to boost reading, try Donalyn Miller's 40 book challenge approach. Easy to implement - in her book The Book Whisperer, she even includes all the handouts and documents that she uses. Her second book, Reading in the Wild, is also a great read. If you can, have your faculty read it this Spring, and implement the program in the Fall. It can easily be adapted across all grade levels." Elsa Ouvrard-Prettol
